EDITORS COMMENTS
[Countess de Castiglione], 1895. A captivating glimpse into the aristocracy of the 19th century, this black and white albumen print showcases the enigmatic Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione. Adorned in an elaborate costume, she exudes elegance and poise as she poses for Pierre-Louis Pierson's lens. The Countess, known for her beauty and charm, was a prominent figure in French society. Her full-length portrait captures her regal stature and hints at the opulence of her lifestyle. Despite being considered overweight by societal standards of the time, she confidently challenges conventional body image ideals with her unapologetic presence. Pierson's photography skillfully combines artistry with documentation, preserving not only the countess' physical appearance but also providing insight into the concept of identity and self-expression during that era. The photograph serves as a testament to both Italian heritage and French influence on fashion and culture. Currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece invites viewers to reflect upon notions of beauty, femininity, and power throughout history. It transcends mere representation to become a symbol of resilience against societal expectations. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, this print continues to captivate audiences today while honoring both Pierson's artistic vision and Countess Virginia Oldoini Verasis di Castiglione's enduring legacy.
